Alternative Therapies for Arthritis

I have been diagnosed with uveitis. This has gone on for 19 years. Not continues but flareups maybe once a month. I have had all of the tests done, many times. I have been on oral prednisone for over a year now. 10mgs. everyother day. Is there vitimans and herbs that can be used, instead of the prednisone. My next step per my doctore will be methotrexate. I would rather try to control this with vitimans and herbs if possible.

Does the wearing of magnets help with arthritis pain? I am talking about hip pain, thumb pain, and knee pain.

Will hot tub help arthritis?

I read somewhere that certain foods affected arthritis, is this true and where can I get a list?

How can my diet help my arthritis?

My husband has RA and we are considering purchasing a hot tub for him and have found there are many types – so-called therapy tubs are considerably higher priced. Would the main benefit come from the heated water or is there a benefit derived from the water massage?He has had considerable pain, is being treated by a doctor, but my thought was the hot tub could give him some relief and possibly he could do some water excersize as well. We are completely willing to spend the extra money for the therapy tub if it is indeed beneficial. But then, if this is just sales hype, don’t want to be taken by the desire to do whatever to make him more comfortable.
